Moral Rectitude & A Lack Thereof What is pain?
What are tears?
When you have
Millions
Of questions
With no fears?
Born to this world
Without a trace.
Left in the dark,
Left to defend.
And, you start so low.
But, come up so high
With one thought in mind.
See a smile, eyes can't read the pain.
But, you can't tell them, you'll lose your place.
In a world with many sins
And a time with lots of wins,
Caught in storms that breathes fire.
Burning alive.
Burning alive.
Things you simply can't rewrite
Come back to haunt you at night.
Problems too deep to escape
Begin to root and take shape.
Times I wish won't duplicate.
A heart I hope will not break.
Life's too hard to recreate,
For reasons I comtemplate.
Do fairy tails actually exist?
Or, is it the scene I've always missed?
Hardly able to picture tomorrow,
All I see is the logic of today.
Stuck in purgatory
Striving to be worthy.
For, you to look at
Me with gentle eyes.
To soften my falls
And, mend the divides
I have been told,
that a smile is a contagious effect almost like a yawn, it will relax the natural defense mechanisms, I don't smile much it is a predisposition, a habit of circumstance, I grew up as a poor child with bad dental hygiene my "parent", did not have many resource’s to help my dilemma. As a young adult I made it a priority to get my smile better than having people looking away in horror , and they did too. It was pretty awful. Anyway, I guess my point is your poem struck a chord. We are all flawed to a certain degree, I am sure there is scientific research that expresses the depth of sociopathic behavior developed throughout mankind, but it is an individual choice, to move forward or get left behind. It is the laws of the jungle, overcome the obstacle or fail.
This was a great poem well-constructed and a thought provoking piece of art, that I found filled with a depth of perception and insight.
Excellent art, superior essence that is the key to a great poem... the essence, like a fragrance of perfume, not too strong, not too sweet, just the right amount of essence...

Poems within a poem
Excellent choice of word and flows that range from tickle, to trickle to hammer- blow! The last 7 lines are profound in their depth and meaning , and could certainly be a poem within the poem. Excellent poem, with great musical qualites as well....Bravo
Thank you so much, but you
Thank you so much, but you are much too kind.
Unfortunately, I only got as far as the drum sheets for this particular song/poem.
